Comments Off on Open Workout 16.2 – Modified into a normal WOD

The original workout, if done as prescribed, would have only lasted 4 minutes since I cannot manage the second round weight.  Also since I wanted a decent workout for Sunday, I modified the workout to be 3 sets at the lowest Rx weight.  After the first 4 minutes I recorded my score then just continued to complete the 3 sets for time.

  • 25 x Toes to Bar
  • 50 x Double Unders
  • 9 x Squat Cleans @ 62.5kg (135lbs)

Results:  After 4 minutes, 82 reps.  For the complete 3 sets – 18:06.

Part A:  For time complete the following:

  • 6 x Muscle Ups (original was 3 x Peg Board ascents)
  • 24 x Calorie Row
  • 12 x Calorie Assault Bike (original was 16 but I messed up)

Part B:  Rest 5 minutes then for time complete the following:

  • 12 x Deficit Handstand Pushups @ 6cm/2.5in (original was Parallelette HSPUs)
  • 24 x Calorie Row
  • 16 x Calorie Assault Bike
  • 8 x Deadlift @ 90kg

Part C:  Then, not for time, do the following.  Between each set do 2-3 Chest to Bar or 1-2 Muscle Ups:

  • 2 x Deadlift @ 110kg
  • 1 x Deadlift @ 120kg
  • 1 x Deadlift @ 120kg

Comments Off on T2B then Press, Pullups, Row and Snatch

Part A:  Take 15 minutes and practice kipping Toes to Bar.

Part B: Every 4 minutes for 4 sets (16 minutes):

  • 5 x Strict Press with successively heavy weights
  • Max Reps Unbroken Kipping Pullups

Part C:  EMOM for 20 minutes (another CFI workout).

  • Even Minute: Row for 30 Seconds for distance
  • Odd Minute:  3 x Power Snatch @ 35Kg

Results:  Part A – Finally got the kipping T2B down.  Was able to do 10 unbroken without pausing between. Still a bit inefficient with the kip, since it is still a big movement, but at least now they are quick.  Part B – 5 x 50kg, 5 x 52.5kg, 3 x 55kg, 3 x 55kg and total 37 (8-10-8-11) pullups.  Part C – Distances rowed – 150,149,137,157,150,150,151,150,140,147 – 1’481m total.
